Headed out West!

Greetings Friends and Family,

Just a little update on the G Fam. We are headed out to Paso Robles, California to begin our new adventure around the first of September. Christian has been there for a month now working as the Director of Manufacturing for Scientific Drilling/Applied Technoligies. He is loving his new position and seeing great things happening within the company. The girls and I flew out for a visit/house hunting trip for 10 days and had an amazing time. Paso Robles is 30 min. from the Coast so we got to visit several beaches, C and R went horseback riding through the mountains, while B and I played on the shoreline in Cambria(B isn't quite old enough to handle a horse just yet). The weather there is awesome! The mornings started cool in the 60s then it would heat up during the day to a sunny 80/90 then cool off in the evenings back down to 60. Of course, being from Houston (100 degree + 100% humidity)we wore jackets most the time. You'll notice in almost all our pics we are wearing warm clothes and everyone around us is in summer wear.
We looked and looked at houses but didn't find "the One" so we'll probably live in Temporary housing (apartment/hotel suite) for a couple of months until we find what we're looking for.

I did get Roar enrolled into school. She will be attending Solid Rock Christian Academy there in Paso. It's a private/home school Co-op that includes Bible based curriculum as well as Upper level Academics. She is so excited and can't wait to get started. She went to youth group while we were in Paso and met some great people there. Bella is excited to have a "New House" and "New Friends". It's funny to hear her talk about "Having a move". Her insight is so adorable. Everything new we've experienced she tells me "I'm gonna tell my Ana" or "my Tia" (her sitters) or "Mrs.Coffman" (last yrs. teacher). She can't wait to share all her new stuff with her old friends. :o) So cute!

As for our house in Houston, It's coming along. Most of the major stuff is done, now it's just the little finishing touches to complete. I will be watching alot of Youtube to learn out to install lighting, hook up faucets, etc. Thanks to Uncle Marty's help, after Christian finished up the major work, the carpenter work and painting that I couldn't do has been brought to a managable state for me to figure out. :o) Could of never done it without his help. The girls and I will be spending the remainder of our time in Houston working but are open to visitors if anyone wants to stop by to say "Bye". I was hoping I could make it to Haskell before we headed out but looks like I am running out of time. Know that I miss you all greatly and hope that one day you would consider coming to see us. Hope all is well.

Love to all!!!!

Christian, Dee, Roar and Bella B.
